Blissful Retreats
Farm retreat, ceremony, and integration
A ceremonial yurt on a quiet Dutch farm sets the scene for Blissful Retreats, a program centered on guided psilocybin ceremonies and personal reflection. Near Arnhem, the retreat pairs this work with preparation beforehand and integration afterward, with an emphasis on carrying insights into everyday life. Guests have comfortable rooms, a shared living room, a garden and a swimming pool for time between sessions. Meals are organic, vegetarian and plant-based, and can be adapted to dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free options. Guide Michał leads the retreat work. The setting is rural, but Arnhem is reachable by train from Schiphol Airport or Düsseldorf in about two hours, and the center can arrange pickup from the nearest Dutch station. Retreats are paid, with prices starting at EUR 1,950. Ask the host about dates, the schedule and what the fee includes before booking.

Setting
The retreat takes place on a peaceful countryside farm near Arnhem. A garden, pool and cozy communal living room give the rural setting a relaxed, home-like feel, while a ceremonial yurt is used for guided sessions.
The practice
The retreat centers on guided psilocybin ceremonies, a form of plant-medicine work approached here through preparation and later integration. Newcomers can expect guidance around the process rather than a conventional meditation timetable. The center frames the work as a way to explore personal questions and self-connection, then reflect on how insights might carry into daily life. Ask the host about suitability and preparation for your circumstances.
A typical day

Preparation and guided ceremony are central to the program, with integration intended to help guests reflect on their experience and bring insights into everyday life. The farm’s shared spaces and garden provide a quieter setting between scheduled activities.
